Distrubing moments in gaming

[TheScarecrow]

Playing Oblivion and using the Staff of Worms the first time.

Is that as horrible as it sounds?

No, No, No, you use it re-animate dead people

Awww, that's a let down...

Where did you get it do you know?

Playing Oblivion and using the Staff of Worms the first time.

I was disappointed by the Staff of Worms TBH. Only making them come back to stare at you for 30 seconds just isn't very good, I thought you'd be able to talk to them and stuff too since on one quest I was doing for the Thieves Guild I had to talk to some lady in a church I went there only to find out she died somehow so I was stuck on the quest for awhile. o.o

Call of Cthulhu, pretty much any moment in the entire game.

Spoiler

In the very first level you find a guy screaming, who's had all his organs taken out and put into jars around him and then hooked up so he can still use them.

that game is a masterpiece of wince-gaming, but my favourite bit is one level later when:

Spoiler

you accidentally let that deep one out of the attic and get knocked out. I heard the screams, the snapping of bone and the eating noises...then the father crying...i honestly dreaded going downstairs and facing what i'd caused.

It's moments like those that make me think:

Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away away,
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled,
Yes brave Sir Robin turned about,
And gallantly he chickened out,
Bravely taking to his feet,
A very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave Sir Robin.

Every second of Haze. Chilling to the core.

 

[FinalOmega]

Going into the toybox in Milla's subconscious in Psychonauts.

Seeing the option to decorate your house like a Raider's in Fallout 3.

silent hill 3 when heathers aborts good by throwing it up and then claudia swallows it

That was probably the most fucked up thing I've ever seen.

 

[Newtilator]

The Darkness is pretty disturbing.
Namely many scenes in the world war 1 hell.
1 - A soldier recites poetry, then shoots himself. I then discovered he was sitting in "Suicide corner" and would be back to life soon.
2 - Utter choice though, is in the hospital where horribly disfigured, limbless soldiers lie covered in bandages wimpering and screaming
"They said there'd be a nurse! Where is the nurse! Where is she!!!"

tai from gears of war 2 killing him self witha shotgun head shot

 

[Maelgwyn]

Mine was an old dos game that I had when I was around 8 or 9.

Literally terrified me every time I tried to play it. My brother always laughed. >_> douche.

But disturbing - I would have to say something like Bioshock. Why? Because I immerse too well in computer games and then I get all hebejeebied out by disembodied voices

 

[ZeRo5525]

Awww, that's a let down...

Where did you get it do you know?

if I remember correctly you get it from defeating the Kings of Worms at the end of the mage's guild quest line.

 

[The Warden]

Spoiler: Andrew Ryan. Bioshock megaspoiler.

Killing my own father, Andrew Ryan, with a golf club was pretty graphic. Especially when it got stuck in his forehead. I mean, his face was all bloody and brutalised, and he kept on repeating: "A man chooses, a slave obeys."

At first I misread this as Aran Ryan, the Irish dude from punch out.
So I instantly thought that it's impossible to be disturbed by anyone from punch out, but then I thought of Ryan's personality.
The Man's disturbing.
OT:
KotOR 2's Korriban Academy disturbs me slightly, because when I first played the game, I was younger than I am now, young enough for the bad graphics pool of blood accompanied by that strange music to scare me shitless.
It ain't scary anymore, it just brings back bad memories.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Huntings grounds game over screens.

HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL.

Oh, and let's not forget disgeaa "Child eating scene"

DK 64...The King nuke DK Island.

Fallout: The master and what else? The Nonstandard game over when you die of rad poisoning....and they show your skull, saying how you let everyone down.

 

[PezNic]

Hespith in the Dead Trenches in DA:O i guess. Not sure what it looks like on console, but something about the way it looked on PC coupled with whats going on with her at the time is a bit disturbing.

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

I was really horrified in Quake 4 during the

Spoiler

stroggification process

But the very first thing in my childhood that made me recoil from terror was the rabbit head on a stick at the end of Doom 2. It simply looked so frigging scary.

Both of those. Oh my God, both of those. The Quake 4 scene was insane.

Spoiler

First-person dismemberment is a truly harrowing experience

Also, that rabbit was at the end of the first Doom. I still get a twinge of terror whenever I hear that deceptively cute song...eesh.

 

[iPatrick]

Most disturbing moment for me was playing Resident Evil 3 when I was far too young for my own good.

 

[Murdering Monk]

umm...probably when

Those zombie creatures from Ocarina of Time always disturbed me and so did a lot of things in Majora's Mask, the moon for instance.

Ahh, the Re-deads, so creepy...

 

[chronobreak]

The books at the end of Myst creeped me out when I was a kid.
